Well, I'll blame it on Harper . . . I haven't stayed on top of blogging like I thought I would. So here's a (mostly cell phone picture) recap of the past month:
 |
Harper starts smiling! |
 |
We got a real tree! Step one: lights |
 |
Step two: the ribbon |
 |
Step three: poinsettias. Great idea, McKay.
 |
Finished product!
 |
Double birthdays! Randy and Jennie, December 12th |
 |
Date night: Grandma took Harper over night and McKay and I hit up Five Guys, frozen yogurt and a movie! We got entirely too much candy, popcorn and drinks but had a blast spending the evening together. Just the two of us!
 |
The above mentioned frozen yogurt. Tart with pomegranate . . . yum!
 |
Sugar cookie night with our good friends, Megan and Kyle Jones
|
|
|
 |
Ward party. Harper meets Santa! |
 |
not bad for the first meeting |
 |
"Chestnuts Roasting" party, for all our neighbors on Chestnut street |
 |
... on an open fire |
 |
Family Christmas carol night. Cousins Neil and Harper (4 months apart, but nearly the same size!) |
 |
goofing around |
 |
dressed up for many holiday errands |
 |
Kimball, Wendy and little Jack came for Christmas! We did lunch at In-N-Out where they met Harper for the first time. Grandpa Rob with Jack |
 |
Meet Uncle Kimball |
 |
Cousinly love. Jack was so cute with her! |
 |
The four of us ended up staying and chatting for hours |
 |
Out little Christmas Elf! |
 |
Christmas morning! We started off with stockings at our house |
 |
then we headed to McKay's parents for presents, and a day of eating and movie watching! |
 |
Christmas morning wore Harper right out! Wearing her new little cub hat and matching Thomas jammies |
 |
the embroidered Thomas T |
 |
We found some Christmas crackers! McKay was so excited for these - good memories of two Christmases in England |
 |
Over Christmas break the kiddos came over for a sleepover. Action shot of Spencer |
 |
we ate bumblebee pancakes for breakfast. Thanks for the fun pancake skillet, Wendy! |
 |
We rang in the new year with our good friends - Bob, Michelle and little Lira. Enjoying new year's day breakfast! |
 |
10 weeks old, 14 pounds, 24 inches and 100% adored. Happy 2011 everyone! |
The Thomas pj's are cute and my kids had a great time. Thanks for including them in your celebrations.
ReplyDeleteIt's so neat to see pictures of your parents and Randy!!
ReplyDeleteHarper is a doll.
And the poinsettias in the tree really WAS a great idea!
And little Jack--I can't figure out if he looks like a kid in a movie I've recently seen, or one of our Sunbeams... but he looks like SOMEone.
